Appendix D
Boot Sequence
This appendix describes the encoder boot sequence, including the messages that appear on
the local control panel display.
D.1 Local Control Panel Display Messages during Bootup
Messages on the local control panel indicate progress during boot-up. During a successful
boot, many events occur so quickly you cannot see the messages. The following sections
describe the messages that you can see during boot attempts.
NOTE:
During the boot sequence, do not press any key on the keypad.
The following sequence describes the display on the vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) during
a successful startup:

Resetting the Encoder
When you reset the encoder from NMX, a message on the VFD shows that the encoder has
been reset. The encoder uses the boot file on the hard drive when you reset it.
